If he is the Singapore Research Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, who is the Research Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science?

Statistically, she's the most dangerous of the threats.

You've just failed the "Are you a woman/gay man?" test. Congratulations on passing the "Are you a straight man?" test. You should receive your male card in the next five working days.

I blame Evolution.

I don't think necrophiliacs care much about sharks.

1 - Those three things are one and the same.

2 - Are you certain nobody bribed those police officers to "make a mistake"?

On one side, a vicious shark. On the other a retard with a motorbike, half a dozen beers and a large breasted bikini blonde to impress.

hmm. Based on my past experiences with both, I'll take my chances with the shark.

Oh, and I don't see how you can fight or escape a motorbike either.

And all that happens... 0,2 times per year?

Compared to deaths at sea for any other reason (ran over by water bike, ran over by surfer, ran over by motorboat, drowned by currents, ...) in which position are white sharks? Next to deaths by stepping on a rusty nail while running at the beach?

Idiocracy was closer, but Monopoly predicted this first.

The system is overrated because of the user composition.

If Slashdot was a forum about games, movies and cars we'd have posts from five year olds with +5 insightful and infantile internet memes with +5 funny.

Do you think Somalia outsurces much of it's manual labor to Norway?

Except for the little detail about the NSA not being allowed to spy Americans indirectly either.

The problem is not that they find creative ways to bend the law, it's that they didn't really need to. It's been proven over and over again that even in the cases where they did break the law without any loophole or excuse, nothing happened anyway.

The problem is reality itself. The reality that since the beginning of times governing people requires spying that same people. We've gotten much more civilized in that now we make an effort of keeping that people in ignorance, so they are a bit happier; but the spying continues.

The government needs spies as it needs assassins and torturers and all kinds of evil agents. If the people keep pushing to reveal the truth, the result won't be the disappearance of evil agents but the removal of the pink veil.

At some point, if the kid insists enough, the parent's patience ends and he replies "because I say so, now shut up."

Right. Because science is always a bad investment.

We should spend taxpayer money in military so we can steal from the countries that do advance technologically? Or what's your master plan on how to stay among the first instead of plummeting to the group of those countries that mostly serve as factories for the more advanced.

I must be a cynic but my first reaction is to think:

1 - Create cloud based system.
2 - Sell subscriptions for hundreds of $.
3 - Announce hacker attack!
4 - Profit.

Blind people are also heavily underrepresented.

You really believe those two problems would be solved by better cameras?
